Great, glad you're enjoying it!
As others have noted, liquidsoap does the auto-failover pretty trivially. It's a
great system; I recommend it.
The liquidsoap script has some passwords in it, once I remove those and put them in a
separate conf file, I'll post the source of it on github or similar. It's nothing
terribly fancy.
The only tricky bit was saving the now-playing, which has to be sent to a different
webserver which hosts the player (cross-site origin policy on AJAX, sigh).
That's basically this:
def log_meta(m)
foo=json_of(m)
ignore(http.post(data=foo,
headers=[("Content-Type", "application/json")],
"http://main-site.com/update-player.php"))
system("echo #{quote(foo)} > /tmp/now-playing &")
end
s = on_metadata(log_meta, s)
Liquidsoap is extremely cool and has its own JSON parser and HTTP client built in. So
it's basically posting the now-playing to the webserver, which is then serving it up
via AJAX using the Javascript you saw.
Yes, these guys are very much interested in open source audio, if anyone wants to DJ a
show for them. I've helped a couple of them get linux running on their laptops now,
and one of them found an old MOTU interface laying around, which just screams to be
plugged into a Linux PC running Ardour.
